This is probably less of a problem in OpenLayers 2.3, where we've added
URL encoding to the OpenLayers code. Before that, we would have depended
on the browser to do the same thing, and I don't think all browsers
would have worked with requests like this.

So, my suggestion is to try with OpenLayers 2.2, if it doesn't work, try
with 2.3-rc1, with the knowledge that it has some significant bugs with
controls in IE that w'ere currently working on pulling into an RC2, and
see how it looks.
